Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP


Does anyone use this LP for breakin in cartridges ?
How long do you guys run in it the lock up mode ?
What is the difference between these tracks ?

Track 2. 20 locked grooves, lateral modulation (mono)

1/2” wide, unmodulated plateau

Track 3. 32 locked grooves, vertical modulation (out-of phase)

1/2” wide, unmodulated plateau

Track 4. 20 locked grooves, lateral modulation (mono)

Which track of the 3 is best for breakin in a cart ? or the tonearm wires ?

Thanks for the help,
nolitan

Last year I had to have my VDH GLA III Grasshopper rebuilt by AJ. Because I have a better sounding turntable than the one the Grasshopper is on, I don't play it much.  It has around 45 hours on it total.  Top and midrange sound fine, but the bass is not what I remembered.

Recently I read that it may not sound best until it reaches 300 hours.  At that rate, I may never get the bass the cartridge is capable of.  So I will probably get the Cardas Frequency Sweep Record, and run tracks 2,3, & 4 locked grooves for 20 minutes each.
